T13 |
This could be the week for him to break out, this course is perfect for him.
Best of the rest:
Webb Simpson

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
Should be a lot of interest on him, but he didn’t play last week because he was worried about getting the virus, will his game be sharp? That will be the big question.
Kevin Na

His stats are good for Detroit Golf Club, but he needs to play better than he has since the break.
Hideki Matsuyama

CUT |
Should be good on this course, but I was disappointed that he missed the cut at the Travelers.
The kind of sleeper picks who could win this week:
Doc Redman
